You'd probably just get a slap for that one
They're simply going to drop her off at Stratford Station, poor woman had 3 bin liners full of stuff as well.
I went out and explained to them that she may have a relation to the guys living in the ground floor flat. She was refusing to go anywhere for almost 40 minutes. All the poor woman knew to say was "Stratford" so they said they'll take her to Stratford Station.
Farewell old lady.
No, but as the first person to find her you are responsible for her welfare until the police arrive, from what it sounds like you left her there and hid inside until the police arrived.
Simple things like checking for blood or the appearance of her pupils might save someone from death by overdose or concussion.
If someone ended up on my doorstep then they are welcome to the sofa, they'd have to share it with a cat though.
If they smelt of **** then they can use my shower and if my old clothes fit them then they can help themselves, saves me taking them to the charity shop.
I remember coming out of Glastonbury festival many years ago and washing in a service stations sink, so I reckon a shower would be appreciated.
If they don't mind lentil stew then they can have a meal.
I do have some experience of dealing with people in that state so it probably doesn't phase me that much. I don't actually have a lot, but thankfully I have more than she does and it would probably make me feel good to help somebody else for once.
The last opportunity I had was picking up some teenager on a slip road, he ate all my sandwiches
It seems a bit pointless talking to you about humanity
Ahahahahah
Stopped reading there as i couldn't stop laughing. I assume the rest of your post is full of more of the typical "I'm better than you" internet codswallop so I won't bother.

You asked if I thought you were responsible for her being homeless, obviously you aren't.
You are responsible for looking after her until the appropriate people arrive though, frankly you did as little as possible, which as soundood pointed out is pretty standard for Londoners and as Angilion indicated, never happens in Staffordshire.
No I'm not "better than you", but helping people is not something I would consider as going out of my way for.
If you weren't feeling like a douche then you wouldn't be making a point of having a go at me.

No, he isn't.
What, so in an accident you would leave someone's artery pumping as you got your phone out to record it?
It's just basic good Samaritan stuff, is someone injured, do they need help, can I personally help.
If it was you lying there for whatever reason you would want somebody to check on you.
I laugh my arse of at that statement, and then you post the exact same thing again.
More lulz
You must be trollin me

Who said anything about Arteries? Video recording? and Injury?
Pulling out random and unrelated buzzwords out of thin air to make someone look bad?
Definitely trollin.
You are not actually laughing though are you asim, you are just a bit embarrassed that someone pointed out you could have done a bit more to help that woman.I laugh my arse of at that statement, and then you post the exact same thing again.

Now if you passed her in the street then fair enough, it would be pretty inconvenient to do more than you did here, I don't go out of my way to help people either, but if someone is on your doorstep then you do have to opportunity to help, even if they are a bit icky.
Anyway, stuff happens, maybe next time you can be the bloke with a box of sandwiches going spare. Now I was only being in the right place at the right time but it still felt like I'd done something.
Stratford Station is just 5 mins away, so no, she's still cold.
No, believe me, I am actually lauging out loud.
A homeless person is a homeless person, not an opportunity to make a new friend/be a hero like in your fantastical mind.
He did enough to help her. I think there is a duty of care for everybody to do something, calling the police is enough. What if he had invited her in and she'd been filthy and messed up his flat, or used it as a toilet, or attacked him or something. I don't blame him at all for not taking that risk. However just ignoring her would have been bad form too.

You know what? This comment is so disgusting I'm going to reply to it again.
Seriously. Next time you see a homeless person, shouting abuse in another language, possibly under the influence of alcohol and drugs, possibly urinated on themselves stinking of urine, carrying three bin liners full of more stinky stuff; invite them into your home with your family and let them play with your 5 year old nephew.
Then you can talk to me about humanity.
You could have made her some tea and biscuits, told her you had phoned an ambulance before closing the door. Or told her to bugger off.
Almost, assuming someone is drunk is unwise because a lot of injuries have the same symptoms.
But do you think people in this condition like being treated like animals? I reckon offering a bit of help makes a big difference. I mean she wasn't born homeless, she must have had parents who cared for her once.
It's not really a big deal to see it they want to sit on the bottom step and hand them a cup of tea.
Say what you want, if that were true then you are just making yourself look really bad tbh.
A homeless person is a person, just like you and me. Not having a place to sleep at night does not make you sub human.

There you go again. Pulling out more buzzwords out of thin air to make me look bad.
When did I ever say she was sub-human?
Stop trolling me please.
In your post? You dismissed her as just another homeless person like they were a group different to the rest of us.
The reality is that we are all a few missed mortgage payments away from being in the same position.
There is nothing special about treating people like you would like to be treated.
